David is a thought-leader, writer, technologist, and a senior researcher at Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society and Co-Director of Harvard Law School’s Library Innovation Lab. We interviewed David in April 2012, shortly after the release of his new book, Too Big to Know: Rethinking Knowledge Now That the Facts Aren’t the Facts, Experts Are Everywhere, and the Smartest Person in the Room Is the Room.
